Purpose of our
Center: The Center for Non-Dualism is a community for people
who share the Non-Dual perspective of Religion, Yoga, and
Philosophy. The purpose of the Center is to provide a nurturing
fellowship and create an environment that is conducive to
learning and experiencing the oneness of Non-Dualism.

Meaning of
Non-Dualism: Non-Dualism is the orientation that there is
one absolute reality without a second, and that each of us,
though individual people, is one with that, just as a wave is
not separate from the ocean. The emphasis of our Center is on
the practices such as contemplation and meditation which lead to
the direct experience of this Non-Dual reality.

Our Programs:
The Center for Non-Dualism is based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and
serves the Emerald Coast of the Northwest Florida area. It is our wish
to a greater
visibility and accessibility of programs to our greater community for those
people who share the Non-Dual perspective. Our weekly gatherings
will be complemented by other programs either through the Center
or the individual members in other venues.

Views on
Practices:
Our view is that all dualistic religions, practices, and
philosophies are practical tools that ultimately lead to the
direct experience of the Non-Dual reality. The passion of
devotion towards the divine or dualistic god or deity is felt to
bring the joy of merging with the absolute, immanent, Non-Dual
divinity. The awe filled insights of contemplation are thought
to bring the highest knowing of the one Non-Dual existence which
has no second. The intense focus of meditation pierces the
levels of dualism and leads to the realization of the Non-Dual
reality. All of these practices are considered to work together like
fingers on a hand, leading one to the direct experience of being one
with the Non-Dual.

Organizing Council: A Council of
people serve as advisors for the Center for Non-Dualism, including three
who are equal Directors of the Council, with no one of the three in
charge. These three Directors are (in alphabetical order) Bill Campbell,
Swami Jnaneshvara, and a third to be determined. The names of the
Council members are on the Organization page.
